i did believe for the first 30 years of my life that they had been picked by jehovah god to dispense the truth as best as imperfect humans could.
then, everything became questionable.
i had read anti jw books in the past but franz's books really got to me but not immediately.
Born in & dragged along

Being a Kiwi livin in oz I always back NZ or any other team playing Australia.
Sadly the poms are not doin very well this series
We were taught the Maori Haka in primary school, and performed often, even though we had very few Maoris at the school, infact I can only remember 1.
We had a teacher who was married to a Maori lady and Maori culture was taught on a regular basis.
I'm much like the other Kiwis here, who now live outside NZ, seeing the Haka brings a lot of pride in being a Kiwi.

before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.
during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.
as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

yuck..sitting in front of me, today, i saw an elder picking his nose while his wife was commenting on the wt study.
then with the same hand, he grabbed the microphone and passed it back to the microphone carrier.
he didn't even have a kleenex.
I think these dirty habbits are away of life throughout the general public and not a jw only thing.
For example I work in the emergency services field, and I see repeatedly firemen, including fire commanders, take a piss or a dump and just walkout of the toilet withoutwashing their hands. These are airport fireys and are resposable for first call first aid over the entire airport and surrounding land.
Don't trust anyone, that, they are going to be clean.
My advise, keep a number of hand sanitizers handy
